NO HEART
This team sickens me. Where are the come-from-behind victories? Really, does anyone really think this team is any good? Sheesh.
Seriously, am I the only one who feels that, if they can fix their god-awful bullpen, the Devil Rays could actually be sort of...you know, good? Their offense has a ton of potential - if these guys stay healthy, and stick around for a couple years, the lineup would actually be sort of scary. That's a weird thing to say, given they're the Devil Rays.
Meanwhile, this whole Patriots thing really confuses me. They're arguable the best team in football, and so the whole thing makes no sense. One upside: one of the people complaining about the Pats cheating is Shawn Merriman, which is awesome.

Wow, revisited
Okay, so this sort of...sucks. So much for happy baseball stories. I'd like to think the story's not true, but it's pretty big on specifics; and maybe it doesn't matter in the big picture, but it still seriously detracts from the utter awesomeness of it all.
Oh well.
On the upside, I think a 9th inning infield single, steal, and RBI single to win the game counts as "heart". Next complaint: the Red Sox have no "stomach". Who's with me? Eric? Dan?

One - without looking up the internet... what mlb pitcher has allowed the most HRs this year.
Two - Matt, please respond to this.

Have you ever...
...not wanted to post anything, for fear of jinxing things? I just feel if I were to say anything positive, the season would come crashing down instantly...

Clay should thank me
For going nowhere near my computer.
Nice job. He looked great. Excellent command of the curve and change.

We should learn something today
The sox dugout should be full today, with the additions of Bucholz and Corey to the pitching staff and Moss, Elsbury, and Clayton.
We'll see what Bucholz learned from his brief time in the bigs (hopefully to trust his stuff).
We'll see what the lineup is, with the new injuries now coming daily.
we'll also see how the Sox respond knowing that the Yanks have already won.
So lots to learn in the next 5-6 hours.

Boooooooo
Generally speaking, the Sox are still in good shape...
To take something from this past series.
Schilling looks very healthy. That makes the 1-2-3 combo very strong. Our number 4 has 16 wins...The bullpen is very strong.
The pitching is definitely there. There were questions about Schilling, but he's been very good since "resting".
The glaring hole? No Manny. Without rehashing early season posts, there were great concerns about this offense. They have scored a lot of runs. But they've gone through very bad stretches. They have no bench...although that will change tomorrow with the call-ups...
Maybe the Sox will luck out and the Yankees will get the Angels in the first round. Then they won't have to face them in the playoffs. I think that the Sox should think about sending down Lopez today to bring up Ellsbury or someone just so they are eligible for the post-season roster without someone going to the DL (although I am thinking that Snyder will probably get hurt some time this month for that very reason...and perhaps Hinske...).
I think that even the relatively easy games aren't going to be very easy without Ramirez in the lineup. Who in their right mind is going to pitch to Papi?
I think that Drew should be the leadoff hitter for the rest of the year. He is fast. He likes to walk instead of swing. And don't move Lugo or Crisp to the top. Put Papi there.
Drew
Papi
Lowell
Youk
Tek
Crisp
Pedroia
Lugo
Guerrero (oh, wait we don't have him)
Yes, you have a weak bottom of the lineup...no doubt. But you get Papi and extra at bat...After the first go-round it doesn't really matter in the AL.
I don't know...they need something to happen. I am not thinking that the lead will grow this weekend with the Yankees playing the D-Rays and the Sox facing the O's....
